A 34-year-old man is under investigation after allegedly driving at an astonishing 219km/h on the A-7 motorway, nearly twice the legal speed limit. The incident occurred on June 10 around 4.30pm as officers from the Alcoy Traffic Unit conducted routine speed checks near kilometre point 469.4. Detectives recorded the vehicle traveling towards Valencia at 99km/h over the limit, nearly double the maximum speed permitted on Spanish roads.
The driver was subsequently pulled over several kilometres later on the same motorway. He faces potential penalties including a prison sentence of three to six months, a fine based on a six to 12 month period, or between 31 to 90 days of community service. The offence could also result in a driving ban of between one to four years, applicable to both motor vehicles and mopeds.
The Guardia Civil's investigation, conducted by the Alcoy Traffic Unit and Alicante's Road Collision Investigation Team, has been forwarded to the civil and criminal investigation section of the Ibi Court of First Instance, Court Number Two. The suspect, who has no prior record of road safety violations, will now face legal proceedings under Article 379 of Spain's Criminal Code.
